What can I possibly say about Daughter Of Smoke And Bone??
I want to lay it down gently and bow down to it. I want to hug it and squeeze it all day long. I want to have an intimate relationship with it. Yes, Really. I wanna.
Because this book is so awesome and amazing, it's ridiculous!
Laini Taylor managed to invent a new, unique and original writing style of her own and break the anachronistic barriers you usually come across when reading a YA book. No unnecessary drama, no needy and moany heroine who no one can identify with, no hot-stuff boyfriend that cares more about his looks that the world ending, none of that.
Daughter has a clean, straight-up story and even manages to stay believable even if it's about angels and beasts. Laini does not lack in imagination, that's for certain! Her story is complex and incredibly interesting, without being tiring or boring. And the book is not short, mind you. Her descriptions of cloudy and gothic Prague are absolutely beautiful. She couldn't have picked a better place for her story.
Karou the protagonist is quirky, opinionated and pretty stable, considering her "family" and the way she grew up. Her love story with Akiva is EPIC!!!I practically melted when I was reading it, soooo good! After reading a love story like that, so real and uncomplicated, makes me think twice about reading about love triangles ever again. I mean, why over-complecate? Just for the drama? Pfff please don't! Write one great, legendary love story like Karou and Akiva's and you're golden!
Daughter Of Smoke and Bone is mysterious, intriguing, absolutely unputdownable and really really brilliant.
Pure magic!
